A Fascinating Statistic

A Tom Edsall opinion column in The New York Times cites an interesting statistic:

In the 16 presidential elections between 1952 and 2012, only one Democratic candidate, Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, won a majority of the white vote.

If that doesn't tell the Republican Party who their voters are, nothing will. Talk about a truth nobody official can safely mention, this is it.
